Whoopi Goldberg Demands Urgent Action from Blizzard Over Diablo 4 Controversy

Whoopi Goldberg expressed her ongoing frustration with Blizzard in a recent Instagram post, specifically regarding their handling of her situation with Diablo 4. Surprisingly, Goldberg is a big fan of the Diablo franchise and had hoped to be able to play the game on her Mac.

On June 7, Goldberg shared a message expressing her disappointment about Diablo 4, revealing that she was unaware of its incompatibility with Mac. It should be noted that Mac is not typically known for gaming and has limited support for video games in general. While Diablo 3 is playable on Mac, Goldberg apparently didn't check beforehand if Diablo 4 was compatible and reached out to Blizzard, requesting that they allow her and other Apple users to play the game on their preferred platform.

Goldberg has reiterated her dissatisfaction with Blizzard's lack of communication regarding her purchase of Diablo 4. In an Instagram post before her talk, she expressed her disappointment with Blizzard Entertainment for not reaching out to her. The post does not specify whether she has reached out to Blizzard Support or requested a refund. However, Goldberg made it clear that if she is unable to play the game on her Mac, she wants a refund. She mentioned that many others are also upset about not receiving what they were promised.

During her discussion, Goldberg mentioned that she believes she deserves an apology from Blizzard, expressing her frustration about packages being left in the middle of the street by UPS. She emphasized her desire to receive her game or a refund, stating her love for Blizzard but also acknowledging that the situation could have been handled better. The exact reason for the disconnect between Goldberg and the company is uncertain. Goldberg has access to various support and consumer systems to address her concerns, including unofficial methods to play Diablo 4 on Mac. However, it is unlikely that Diablo 4 will be available on Mac in the near future, as expanding platforms is a complex process that cannot be easily accomplished.

Diablo 4 has garnered significant attention from not only average players but also celebrities like Goldberg. The game's launch has been nothing short of extraordinary, quickly becoming Blizzard's best-selling game ever. Moreover, fans can look forward to the upcoming release of the first official season in July. While Blizzard has not disclosed many details about Diablo 4 season 1, such as its Battle Pass and ladder systems, they have assured fans that more information will be revealed in the near future. Diablo 4 is currently accessible on multiple platforms including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
